This functionality is known as "multi-mount" (i.e. mount several fs
with one key). Current Autofs (V3) doesn't support it but it's
foreseen for next version. However you can get the patch of Jeremy
(http://www.goop.org/~jeremy/autofs/) which allow this functionality.
PS: I'm using it and it works fine.
